Western Division Athlete of the Week
Christian Moore
IUP
Guard
Senior
Suffolk, Va. / Hargrave Military Academy
Moore averaged 21 points per game over two games last week, both conference wins for the Crimson Hawks. He shot 15-of-27 from the field (56%) and 7-of-15 from three point range (47%). He recorded six steals, with five coming against Clarion, and tallied his first double-double of the season with a 24-point, 10-rebound performance against Edinboro.

Western Division Defensive Athlete of the Week
Lucas Sekasi
Gannon
Guard
Sophomore
Washington, DC / Jackson-Reed
Sekasi was a defensive disruptor for Gannon during a 2–0 week that included a 79–61 upset of No. 2 Daemen, snapping the Wildcats’ 51-game regular-season winning streak, and a 112–86 PSAC road win at Pitt-Johnstown. Sekasi totaled seven steals across the two contests, averaging 3.5 steals per game, while also adding six rebounds and 10 assists with just one turnover. His on-ball pressure and ability to jump passing lanes consistently changed possessions and fueled Gannon’s transition offense in both wins. In the victory over Daemen, Sekasi recorded three steals, three rebounds, and three assists while helping limit one of the nation’s top teams to 61 points, its lowest total of the 2025-26 season. He followed that with four steals and seven assists at Pitt-Johnstown.

He scored 28 points with nine rebounds, a career-high five steals, and two assists in the win over Kutztown and followed that performance with 18 points, eight rebounds, a steal, and a blocked shot against Bloomsburg.
